Let's divide 878523 by 57
Our goal is to divide 878523 by 57.

On to step 1:
8 divided by 57 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 57

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 57, we get 1 with a remainder of 30.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 57 from 87 to get 30.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 308 / 57

Step 3:
When dividing 308 by 57, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 285 from 308 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 57

Going ahead to step 4:
57 can be fit into 235 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154.0
Subtracting 228 from 235 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 57

Moving on to step 5:
57 can be fit into 72 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1541.0
Subtracting 57 from 72 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 153 / 57

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 153 by 57, we get 2 and a remainder of 39.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15412.0
If we subtract 114 from 153, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 390 by 57, we get 6 with a remainder of 48.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15412.6
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 342 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
57 can be fit into 480 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15412.68
If we take 456 away from 480, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
57 can be fit into 240 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15412.684
Deduct 228 from 240 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 57, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15412.6842
If we take 114 away from 120, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 57 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15412.68421
Deduct 57 from 60 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 57 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15412.68421
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
57 goes into 300 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15412.6842105
If we take 285 away from 300, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
150 divided by 57 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15412.68421052
Subtracting 114 from 150 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 15412.68421052 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
